Note: As WAR is wrong, I am retroactively changing name to DEFENDER.
Asteroid ship under attack by giant water bears.
Are they going for us, or the asteroid that's headed for Earth? I hope they don't like hollow asteroids!
They like a crunchy center.
There weren't any lifeforms like these near Earth in our previous universe, although each universe is different with each time reset, so I can understand. The overpopulation must be attracting them and this asteroid. We can't gravity tractor it if we're dead, unless they eat the other asteroid too. then we won't have too, but I'd still like to see Earth again.
Masers cannot be fired in this asteroid configuration, advice reverting back to giant robot form.
No, the ship's systems can't handle it. The integration is permanent this time, we kept switching back and forth and it damaged the teleportation drive. This is going to take forever now to get any where. These water bears might be a blessing if Earth wants to see interesting aliens, unless they eat the Earth too, which I think they will.
These water bears have lots of energy, we can absorb them.
No, we're vegan and natural. Actually, since they are attacking us, go ahead.
We will have to smash them against the other asteroid with our asteroid, and then absorb the organic material into our
shell.
They appear to have stopped attacking, they're headed towards Earth. Why won't people stop breeding?
Because babies are cute like water bears?
